Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick

The best cream blush on the market!

Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick ($$) ****

     This is my favourite cream blusher of all time! Creamy dreamy natural flushy goodness.

     The particular colours I've used are Glow Blush: a deep neutral gold with shimmery gold flecks, and Rosy Blush: a dusty pink-rose. However, I am reviewing the formula rather than the colours as different coloured blushes suit certain skin tones. I don't want you to run out and buy the wrong colour for YOU even though it's the right colour for me. I will however recommend colours for your particular skin tone below. :)

    Anyways, moving onto this wonderful little miracle in a tube. Blushwear Cream Stick is a cream blush in a convenient little twist-up tube. The packaging is great because you just wind up the tube a little bit, and apply a (light) "smudge" right to the apple of your cheeks after you apply foundation/liquid moisturizer. Cream blush in a palette can be messy and goopy, so the tube is a great compromise. 

     The colour looks alarmingly bright and deep when you initially smudge it on. Don't be alarmed - I would never let you look like a clown. Simply blend out, in circular motions, up towards your hairline and along your cheek bones. Give your face a light dusting with your favourite mattefying powder to set the look. You're done! An easy peasy natural-looking flush.

     Cream blushes are normally recommended to those who have dry or aging skin as powder blush tends to settle in lines and creases - looking cakey on dry skin. Some cream blushers make oily skin look oilier. The Clinque Blushwear formula however works great on all skin types! It does not have an oily finish, but leaves you looking dewy and fresh. When I use it I look like I have a healthy glow from within.

Colours:

   Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick comes in a good variety of colours.

Black Honey: a DEEP cool-toned red/burgundy. This colour would look gorgeous on deep chocolate skin. Fair girls need to stay away though. Far away.

Rosy Blush: a dusty pink-rose. I use it as my Winter blush because it's a deeper colour without any shimmer that warms up my pale face. It's perfect for fair girls with slightly yellow undertones.

Peachy Blush: an orangey-coral colour with gold shimmer. This colour is very versatile and would look great on any skin tones. A particularly pretty colour on tan or ivory skin. Really makes the face look awake.

Glow Blush: This is my favourite. It's a neutral gold-honey colour with golden shimmer. My Summer blush. Gives the appearance of sun without the harsh effects of the rays!

Shy Blush: the violet-pink colour of Shy is right on trend. Perfect spring colour for medium girls.

     This product is a little pricey, but per usual, you get what you pay for. $22 USD is not horrible considering how long the blush actually lasts, (it's months by the way). Love love love.
